This here is for everyone who has ever needed to shrink that transaction log and couldn't. This script shrank a 3 gig transaction log to 600 MB in about a minute and a half. Supposedly this was found on MSDN, but I have never been able to find much of any value on MSDN without bleeding from my...

Thanks folks. We did get this to finish, I was just trying to optimize this so that it would not take an hour to complete. I will tweak the recovery interval, as suggested by foxdev, but I believe the SET ROWCOUNT option is not a valid solution, because processing stops upon reaching the...

That is probably the answer. Just a follow up question. So if I use the SET ROWCOUNT = 1000000 statement, will my process stop after the first million, or will it continue in increments of a million? I understand that this might have to be programmatically induced. Thanks for steering me...

You should be able to do this by taking in the column as a varchar(xx). Once the parameter is inside the stored procedure, use the LEN function to determine the length of the parameter, and then parse through the parameter using a for loop to obtain the values for col3 in the expression ...
